Movies You *Won't* Watch Again ...

[Zigman66]

Seems like you may have wiped out 2/3 of the movie industry there

Another I can no longer stand is any of the Tremors movies. Here's a surprise: My wife loves those too
To be fair, she puts those movies on when she is cooking to have background noise and since she has seen them a zillion times she doesn't have to interrupt her food prep to see what's going on

Movies I won't watch in the first place:

That have Tom Cruise or Johnny Depp in them.

 

[mikedt]

The Meg.
Basically it's a very stupid remake of Jaws, that was really made for China.

 

[lunatic59]

Anything with megalodon, crocosaurus or sharktopus.

...or Jason Statham.

Plural? You mean they made more of them?

The first one, or what I'd until 30 seconds ago have just called "the movie", is harmless fun, but it's not a concept that needed sequels. Mind you, when has that ever stopped them...?

Never. I truly hope they've flogged the Alien franchise to death. But the box office figures for the last shambles will determine that.

Prometheus and Alien Covenant.

Prometheus did the same thing as Metroid Other M, in that it breaks canon so thoroughly, with the established films (and Alien Isolation), that it cannot sensibly exist in the Alien timeline. But rather than back off and move on, Ridley Scott in his ego had to force it even harder with Covenant. Which only alienates (hah) the existing people that did like the original films. Even Resurrection didn't screw up canon as hard as Prometheus and Covenant did. And made me appreciate how well done Isolation was, as a game in the Alien timeline.

I wonder how much artistic license Mr Scott actually has in the production of these films. Ultimately the studios are putting up the money, and I would think they get a very large say of what ultimately gets made.
I had high hopes for Covenant. There was a whole big story behind the Engineer race. Questions raised in Prometheus (which I didn't think was a bad film), weren't answered. I may have missed something, but was the ending ever explained, in terms of what the Engineer was trying to do?
Instead, we got a tedious sequence of gore, that we'd seen many times before.

Can't remember for sure but I think there was 4 of them. I agree about the first one but after that...

 

[Zigman66]

Let's not forget (or perhaps we want to??): C.H.U.D...

There was a sequel to this one too. If memory serves I think it was call Bud the CHUD

Skyscraper.
A rather stupid remake of The Towering Inferno.

I watched it and agree its the stupidest remake that i will never re-watch

 

[Rico ANDROID]

……… .any and everything with roseanne barr in it… .

I found The Towering Inferno to actually be much more believable than Skycraper.

Note to self: Avoid movies by Legendary Entertainment.

I agree 100 percent. Skyscraper went into the fairytale land right at the beginning. Not only could we tell the plot right away and know what happens next before it does, you can tell they tried too hard to make different from Infernobtobthe point that i was yawning first 15 min

 

[dan330]

interesting..

Skyscraper.. even though it was NOT a great movie.. but it was entertaining.
i would watch again.. if i was bored...

Legendary Entertainment... i like most their action movies. It fits in with what i want in an action movie.
of course you have to suspend a lot of realistic issues.

most horror movies.. i will not watch twice. not because it is scary .. because it does not scary me and plots suck.

 

[Rico ANDROID]

SHARKNADO… ..any of them . I used to get all into their b-rated on-purpose plot but just can't take anotother movie or research the past series

 

[dontpanicbobby]

The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies
I love Sharknados!

Predator vs. Predator?

 

[mikedt]

Predator vs. Predator?

11ft tall Predator and Predator dogs. Its English title is "The Predator", even though there's more than one.. Saw it in the local Imax cinema in 3D and Dolby Atmos, won't bother watching it again on the small screen at home. The first Predator movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger was great, all the sequels...meh!..including the "Alien" ones.

That reminds me of another one I saw in the cinema a couple of months ago, but won't want to watch again at home, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

Movies are like songs. The best ones have already been made.

My grandson loves watching Jurassic world. Apparently it was written for three-year-olds.
